So I've noticed the Teapot riddles are rising in popularity and I figured I would give them a try; also, it didn't help that it was recommended by @user474343 for me to do so. Good luck to you all!



The Rules



  • I have one word which has several (2 or more) meanings.

  • Each of the meanings is a teapot (first, second ...)

  • You try to figure out the word with my Hints.

The Puzzle



First:




My first teapot is a unit of measurement.




Second:




My second teapot is to understand.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
